What I Thought Was True

By Huntley Fitzpatrick

The anticipated follow-up to My Life Next Door is a magnetic, push-me-pull-me summer romance where a young girl dreams of escaping the weight of her family's obligations.

“Utterly luminous . . . deftly balances the shimmering promise of summer, first love, and yearning in an emotionally charged, beautifully written book.”—Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author

“Hauntingly raw, romantic, and beautiful.”—Katie McGarry, author of Crash Into You

“Much deeper than the pretty cover lets on.”—Kirkus Reviews

Gwen Castle comes from a long line of fishermen and housecleaners who support Seashell Island’s summer visitors, and she expects her life to go the same way.

But then she discovers that Cassidy Somers—also known as her Biggest Mistake Ever—is working on the island for the season. And though she tries to avoid him, fate keeps pushing them together.

Sparks fly and secrets are revealed as Gwen spends a gorgeous, restless summer struggling to resolve what she thought was true—about her life, herself, and the people she loves—with what really is.

автор, по-моему, запуталась фабуле и зачем-то флэшбэки сделала более событийными, чем настоящие события. это здорово мешает, между прочим. плюс добавила пару бессмысленных персонажей, у которых практически никакой роли в истории нет, и несколько ненужных второстепенных линий. в общем, не справилась с управлением. иногда нужно напоминать себе, что пишешь не сто лет одиночества, а летний роман про подростков
